Excellent pet. I love those little predators.

Now that's amazing! Nice find.

Haha i love the straight on shots of him/her. Their eyes just crack me up with the stare.

How adorable!! You are really good at taking photos they look like something you'd see in a nature book!

Gorgeous photos! Are you going to name him?

Your thread is making me want a praying mantis LOL! And your photos are wonderful! I wanted an orchid mantis for awhile, but their lifespans are so short that I never committed to it.

Just offering room and board to my new friend during the winter.
